SOME GOOD ADVICE i via Without'ahy wish to be- little*the fature of the! Unit- ed Nations,’ Field Marshal wa sc oe i - Brooke, ‘higfet the British Imperial Gone! ff during the war, suge that the de- fenses of the--Empire be strengthened until the Unit- ed Nations can take over. ~ The Field Marshal ‘thet the UN is in its infancy, suffering from serious teeth- ing troubles and will inevit- ably require many years be- fore reaching maturity. Only then will it be able to “make ‘its influence felt as a guard- ian of peace.” We think that the British -leader is giving the people of his Empire some good ad- vice. It takes cognizance of the troubled state of the world and the present weak- ness of the so-called inter- national. police force peace. Until this becomes a reality, it is wise for free peoples'to prepare to de- fend and uphold their free- dom. POLES DENOUNCE U.S. The Vice-Premier of Po- land, Wladyslaw Gomulka, one of the leaders of the Communist Party in that country, said that some American politicians are using the atomic bomb as “a sword over the heads of other nations.” He considers it more im- portant to “unmask those who are trying to bring about new war” than to es- tablish the “people’s right! to criticize a president.” Even considering the fact that the speech was pointed at the Polish elections, it is tard to understand what the Polish statesman ex- pects to gain by denouncing the leaders of Great Britain ‘and the United States as warmongers, who are trying to restore Germany at Polish expense. Some people talk for’ an! hour after they have said all there is to say. : -- Strange as it may seem, there are some- institutions of learning that do not have otball- teams, Says | for |} ————_$$— i SMALL POTATOES The Citizen has said«:a hundred times that it does} not publish anonymous let-| ters, yet letters of that kind | repeatedly that Key West is not on the Atlantic Ocean, | ers continue to say our) island borders on that body of water. A Miami paper said that! the President sunned on al beach on the Atlantic} Qcean, after’ a swim on Monday morning. If he did, then he had to go slightly more than 200 miles from Key West to Shoal, northernmost of the Bahama Banks, almost op- posite Jupiter on the Florida coast. That bank marks the northerly end of the Florida Straits, which begins at Dry Tortugas on the souther’ side, and Key, West borders | on the Straits on the south- erly and southeasterly side. The beach where the} President sunned is lapped by waters from the Key | West Main Channel, with the Gulf of Mexico seven miles away in the North-/| west Passage and the Flor- ida Straits on the southerly | side. But some Key Westers keep on saying that Duval | street is the longest street in} the world because it reaches! from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. sun on a beach on the At-} lantic is of minor conse-; ; quence compared to an an- nouncement by a 4 L broadcaster. He said in ef-| “President Truman, | | meanwhile, is enjoying the} Florida sushine. He arose this morning at 7 o'clock, | somewhat late for him, apd went! swimming and then basked hh the sun on a near- by beache?:} Naot Ria about Key} West. Anyhody who did not! know whee the President was would have thought the “nearby beach” was in the Miami,aréa. : Ot Gouswe, The Citizen is awafe that it is a bitter pill, $q'Jarge it is unswallowable, for Miamians; in the realiza- {to Key. West for his va ca. | /tion, instead of going, to; | Miami. And it was small| | potatoes, too, on the part of | | the broadcaster in question, | to omit mentioning that the, | President was in Key West, not in Miami. Insurance is what the moralists would term an ac- ceptable gamble y a pitfall into} ; which many well-meaning, | deserving leaders tumble. WHY WORRY ABOUT YOUTH? A newspaper editor in a neighboring state is great disturbed over the distr ing report of crime in the United States and says that | this “is gradually becoming a lawless country.” We have been unable to become excited over the crime figures which picture the increase over the year 1945. Somewhere we | that 1945 was a fairly good | year and that the statistics | for earlier years would; show that the present era | is not as criminal as wae | | | | assert. Of course, the moral ex- perts will point their fin- | gers at the parents of the country, just as the same class .of expositors have done for hundreds of year We remember quite well | the declarations of moral- ists, just after the fir: World War, warning us that the younger generation of | that day was on the road to; hell. | One of the lessons to be the progress of human be-| of older people many individuals who are i quite cqnvinced that the: youngsters are hell-bent. | It} has been so from the begin-| ning, is so today and will be | so tomorrow. So, why worry about their lamentations? .

He drew a laugh from the spectators when he claimed that the present restric- tion on beer did not affect him,! as he had “his” in the ice-box ! on Saturday for Sunday's con- sumption. John Thompson, resident, } spoke against allowing the sale, of beer, liquor or wine on Sun-} day. A letter from the Key West Business and Professional Wo-; men’s Club, signed by Aloysi Goidtsnoven, was read.
